IMPROVEMENT lN SUSPENDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 221,578, dated November1], 1879; application filed July 21, 1879.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OsoAR KLEINBERGER, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSuspenders; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear,and exact description of my invention, enabling others to make and usethe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming apart of this specification.

invention relates to an improved suspender-end. The same is formed ofbraid or cord. and has a series of loops or button-holes of uniformsize. This braid or cord is bent double, so that the two parts cross andoverlap each other at uniform intervals of distance, and where the partsthus overlap each other they are united by aid of a cord, string, orthread, which is wrapped around both parts of the braid or cord; or theymay be held together by a metallic fastening or clasp. By thus crossingthe braid or cord parts a certain number of times andfastening themtogether at uniform distances apart, a certain number ofbutton-holes areformed, as many as may be found desirable, practicable, and necessary inorder to make the suspenders adjustable by placing the Suspender-buttonson the pantaloonsin any of the button-holes or loops formed by theoverlapping of the braid 0r cord parts in the Suspender-ends, in themanner hereinbefore set forth.

Referring to the drawing, which represents a front view of a pair ofsiispender-ends em bodying my invention, A and B are the suspender-ends,formed of pieces of braids crossing and overlapping each other at a, andheld together by cords or threads b b, which are placed at uniformdistances apart, thus forming button-holes or loops of uniform size.

I am aware a suspenderend has been formed of braid, and that the strandsthereof have in some cases been united near the lower extremity, and inother cases left free or disunited. Such construction I do not claim 5but What I do claim is A suspender having its ends A 13 formed of braidor cords which cross and overlap each other two or more times, and arefastened together at their junctions a by the threads or cords I), thusforming a series of button-holes or loops of like size, as described,and for the purpose specified.

This specification signed this 25th day of June, 1879.
